A higher educational medical establishment in Russia.

There are a lot of medical educational establishments in our country ranging from a medical college, institute or academy to medical university. They differ in the number of faculties, courses and teaching facilities but their structure, application requirements and the curriculum are much alike.

Those who want to enter a medical university should have considerable academic achievements at school and a confidential report from school authorities. Usually it is necessary to take written or oral examinations in Biology, Chemistry and Russian Literature. Sometimes an interview is required. If one succeeds, he/she becomes a student of the university.

The course of studies varies from five to six years. The courses are mainly full-time but there are also part-time courses (as for pharmacists).

The structure of a higher educational establishment is the same for all the universities. A university is headed by a rector and pro-rectors. A dean and a deputy dean are at the head of a department (faculty). A head of the chair (mainly a professor) is in charge of the chair. The staff of a chair includes professors, assistant professors, lecturers, senior instructors, instructors, senior and junior research associates. Post-graduate students participate in the scientific work of the chair.

The most common forms of teaching process are lecture, seminar, laboratory work, case study (presentation) and practical training. The most hard-working and enthusiastic students join scientific societies.

Every term (year) is concluded by the finals (credit tests and exams). At the end of the study the students take State Examinations and get the Diploma. After that they are to choose between the following opportunities – to start their practice (being licensed by a corresponding licensing board) or to enter a post-diploma course.
